It is reported in the news, but I think many of you know it.
Mao Yanagihara died in a car accident in the morning of Saturday, December 12rd.
It was an event at Setoo Bridge in the morning on the way to the annual Circle K Cup at Across.
At first, I was so confused that I couldn't even think of what I should write in such a place, and I haven't been able to calm down much yet.
However, since my father is working hard to contact the people involved, I keep in touch with the person in charge of relationships such as YONEX and HEAVEN STORE, and I also send information to people who are close to me.
However, the current situation is that there is no way to contact such people who have contact information only on Mao's cell phone, or who do not know the contact information but are acquainted with each other.
If you do something like that through this blog
"I wanted to hear it sooner"
I will make a blog post with the consent of my father that I want to reduce the number of people who become.
My family is forced to stay near the site, so I plan to return to Kanagawa a few days later.
Earlier, Dai Hosono of HEAD, who is now in the United States, contacted DM on Twitter to find out more information.
I myself can't ask about the details, details, and future movements, but I can get in touch with my dad.
If there are other people like Dai-chan

Please contact.
From here, I will write about my current feelings.
Mao is the first time since I started working as a professional rider
"I want to be like Mr. Banivo in the future."
It is a child who said.
Also for the first time
"Professional snowboarders are professional snowboarders only when they are longing for the next generation of children."
It is a child who made me think.
At that time, I was still a small elementary school student.
I was an overwhelmingly good elementary school student, and I was really looking forward to the future.
I was given a special prize many times at the tournament, and even if I mixed it with an adult general one-make tournament, I was a child who crossed over the top battle with BS720 etc.
However, since I was an elementary school student, I thought that my life would change soon due to something, so I just made friends when I met him, and I didn't give any technical guidance.
Anyway, since then, I have been a cute junior who is also a friend I have met regularly until now.
However, when I was in elementary school, I joined the YONEX Junior Team and started receiving YONEX support.
I used to go to Yunomaru ski area, so I dressed like me and skied
Very good "small vanilla" or "mini vanilla ball"
I was happy because I heard rumors like that.
Even in junior high school, he was always in a high-ranking battle among juniors, and when he became a high school student, he received the support of BROKKORY, and the support shop strongly hoped for HEAVEN STORE.
At first, Mao also lived in Kanagawa, and I didn't think positively because I couldn't communicate well at the shop in Tokorozawa, Saitama. (HEAVEN riders must have unanimous staff)
But after a few years, when I noticed, I went to various places as far as I could come and came to see me, and the customers came to love me, so I welcomed them as a HEAVEN family to do it. I got it.
I realized that Mao was seriously chasing me with the words he said when I was in elementary school, and that he continued to show it in his actions.I was really happy.
"It would be interesting to see the same tournament someday!"
I was talking about Yunomaru while sliding together.
He said he wanted to shoot, so
"I'll get a consultation, but don't get out of my core of wanting to aim for the Olympics first."
I answered.I wanted to take a picture together when the timing came.
I was getting along like that, and I met Mao at the Heaven Store just a week ago on Sunday night.
So while talking
"By the way, Mao suddenly became a guy who talked to me as a rider."
I was sick.
"I don't have a good board to use for the next weekend's tournament, so I'm sorry to leave it borrowed because I'm in good shape with the board I've borrowed from Mr. Banivo, but I'll get it!"
He went home in preparation for the weekend tournament.
That was Mao who I met last.
He was really cheerful and honest, and everyone loved him.
It is no longer possible to participate in the tournament together.
I'm Mao
"I'm doing a good and beautiful slide, but I'm not attacking. Make it a goal for this season to gain more momentum. If you can acquire it, Mao can go higher."
It said.The content I was practicing in this year's NZ skiing video was clearly conscious of that, and I was attacking.
I wanted to see it at the tournament.
But I can't see it.
That's why I decided to attack this year as much as I said.
I will attack as much as Mao wanted to attack.
And don't get depressed.
I don't really want to do anything because I don't have the feelings organized, but Mao doesn't aim for me.
I want to continue to be the one that Mao is aiming for.
That's why I'm not a smirk, but a professional rider who laughs from the bottom of my heart and enjoys moving around.
So that I can send it out properly when I come back to Kanagawa.
It will be very difficult for all the family members, but please come back to Kanagawa safely first.
And Mao, I pray for your soul.
